The data table below contains the raw proportions for each peer institution, broken down by field.
When looking at Notre Dame only, we see some distinct patterns emerge. In STEM fields, we see an increase in doctoral degrees awarded to white students. This is coupled with an arguable decrease in doctoral degrees awarded to people identifying as something other than white. The humanities have seen a reversed trend, with doctoral degrees being granted to diverse students. Please note that you may interact with the visualization below (e.g., select target groups, zoom, hover) and that each bar grouping is arranged in year order (2003 through 2005 and 2013 through 2015).
In examining all non-white students earning a doctoral degree, it appears that Notre Dame is doing well (proportionally) over the last three years compared to many universities; this is especially true for STEM fields.
